4 Medicare & Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs Medicare EHR incentive Program Managed by CMS EPs can receive up to $44,000 if participation began by 2012 (over 5 successive years) Payment reductions begin in 2015 for EPs who choose not to participate in either program In the 1 st year and all remaining years, providers must meet the MU measures to get incentive payments. Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Managed by states EPs can receive up to $63,750 (over 6 years of participation) No Medicaid payment reductions if EPs choose not to participate In the 1 st year, providers can receive a payment for adopting, implementing or upgrading to a certified EHR In years 2-6, providers must meet the same MU measures as in Medicare 4
